The more different kinds on metals in ore the higher the refining cost. The only pratical way to know if it gets better and how much is there is to core drill, it could be worse, and that can be expensive. I would not waste my time on $150.00 ore. It could cost more than that to ship it.Cap'n Crunch said:AUDuke said:At current prices thats less than $150.00 per ton. Do you want to dig it and pay shipping and refining for that?
Phooey! He is getting 3 precious metals in each ton, so its going to be better than what you are quoting. Granted it isnt a super high paying amount, but definitely worth processing in my opinion. Besides, who knows what lies deep down in that material, he only took samples from the surface.
You could be right about it being placer, there is not enough info. to make suggestion or recommendations. Don't put word in my mouth, I did not tell him he was wasting his time, I said I would not waste me time on it, and I wouldn't. ( altho I probably have years ago.)pvillehunter said:sounds like hes on placer material not ore.so its about recovering not refining,i bet, if he gets a good recovery system he will be paying for shipping etc. ,cause he is on paydirt and will be shipping in free gold,platinum and silver to be refined for purity hes not cooking off the over burden rec miners work dirt all the time that pays way less than the amount mentioned.one days dredging done right can move several tons of material and if this guy isnt on bed rock yet man oh man it could be good, how dare you tell this guy he wasting his time i say keep digging and keep making the rest of us jealous.a ton of material is not much if you move it right.
